I would really like a 34" tire that is about 12" wide with a real good load rating. This is all I have found so far http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/59B_gy_wrangler_mtr.jpg
I would really like a better load rating then what this one gives http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/tire_chart.JPG
Does anyone have others to choose from?

You can find take-offs pretty cheap too.

I had those Goodyear MTR's on my Dodge diesel. They look cool as hell. But the tread wear is not that great. Expect around 30k miles if you rotate them every 5k miles.
I have Firestone Destinations on my Chevy. They also look great but I don't think I'm going to get 30k out of them. Maybe 25k.

I have Goodyear MT/Rs on my Jeep. They are great for dirt and rocks, but they are the worst I've tried for ice or light snow on paved roads.

Mike let me know if u want me to check prices on some H2 take-offs in Columbus. Tim; Thanks, but I'd like to stay at the 33.5"-34" tall and 11.5"-12" wide size. At this time I don't want to do a bunch of trimming on the fender wells. And the drop hitch I have is about at its limit for the travel trailer I pull. I am running the 285/75/16`s now which are about 32.83" tall and 11.22" wide. If I didn't tow the TT I'd have the CST 11" lift and 38" Dirt Grips and be donehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif
I figure that the 34"X12" on 17" Hummer wheels is about all I can go with out trimming more and without going to a longer drop hitch. I can find plenty of 33/12.5/17 size, I was hoping to find the 34/12/17, looks like I may have to go to the 33/12.5 size as some of them are 10 ply with a much higher load rating.

I just figured when u hit 34" whats another 1/2".
I'm running the 285-17 w/ the corner of the airdam trimmed.
I was looking at moving bumper 1/2" ahead w/ spacers and slotting the other 2 holes so I wouldn't have to trim.
I think we have enough room in the back, just the bumper/airdam causes the trouble.

Did mine recently with 315's
Keeping the lift at a reasonable height, there is rubbing at the back of the wheel well liner, and just inside the fender moulding. Push the truck all the way up and it's not a factor, then the ride is gone with shocks topped out.
